Germans Opposed to Mass Migration are "Free to Leave"

After factoring in family reunifications, the actual number of migrants could exceed 10 million, and some believe that Germany's Muslim population is on track to nearly quadruple to an astonishing 20 million by 2020.

N24 television news reports that up to 50% of the asylum seekers arriving in Germany have gone into hiding and their whereabouts are unknown by German authorities.

"It cannot be that offenders continue to fill the police files, hurt us physically... and there are no consequences. ... We are losing control of the streets." — Tania Kambouri, a German police officer.

"We are not excluding anyone, we are just trying to run a business. If we ignore the complaints of our female guests, we have to expect that many of our regular customers will stay away.... Financially, we do not know how long can we cope with this." — Thomas Greil, manager of the discotheque "Brucklyn," Bad Tölz, Bavaria.

"We are reproducing faster and faster. You Germans are not getting any children. In the best case you get two children. We make seven to eight children. Okay mate? And then we take four wives each, then we have 22 children. Maybe you Germans have one child and a dog. Huh? And that's it." — Video showing a Muslim threatening a German man openly on the street.

In Berlin, lawmakers are considering emergency legislation that would allow local authorities to seize private residences to accommodate asylum seekers. The proposal was kept secret from the public until November 9, when the leader of the Free Democrats (FDP) in Berlin warned the measure would violate the German Constitution. Berlin Mayor Michael Müller now wants to expand the scope for warrantless inspections to include "preventing homelessness."

"The same empathy we show for refugees we must show to our own people, the host society." — Mayor Ulrich Maly, Nuremberg.

Asylum seekers from Africa, Asia and the Middle East are continuing to pour into Germany in record numbers, despite freezing temperatures and snow.

More than 180,000 migrants arrived during the first three weeks of November, on track to surpass the previous monthly record of 181,000 migrants recorded in October.

With 300 newcomers now arriving every hour, Germany is expected to receive more than one million asylum seekers in 2015, and at least as many in 2016. After factoring in family reunifications, the actual number of migrants could exceed 10 million, and some believe that Germany's Muslim population is on track to nearly quadruple to an astonishing 20 million by 2020.

German voters are beginning to wake up to the true cost — financial, social and otherwise — of the migration crisis, but they apparently do not have much say about the future direction of their country. According to Walter Lübcke, the district president of Kassel, a city in state of Hesse, citizens who disagree with the government's open-door immigration policy are "free to leave Germany."

What follows is a brief round-up of recent developments, which offer a glimpse into Germany's future:

Matthias Lücke, senior researcher at the Kiel Institute of the World Economy (Institut für Weltwirtschaft, IfW), estimates that the migrant crisis will end up costing German taxpayers at least 45 billion euros a year, or more than four times the 10 billion euros forecast by the federal government. Lücke says tax increases are the only way to pay for this expenditure.

Gabriel Felbermayr, director of the Munich-based Center for International Economics (Ifo Zentrum für Außenwirtschaft), estimates that the migrant crisis will cost German taxpayers 21.1 billion euros this year alone. "This includes costs for housing, food, day care centers, schools, German language courses, training and administration," he said in an interview with Der Spiegel.

N24 television news reports that up to 50% of the asylum seekers arriving in Germany have gone into hiding and their whereabouts are unknown by German authorities. They presumably involve economic migrants and others who are trying to avoid deportation if or when their asylum applications are rejected.

In a bestselling new book, Tania Kambouri, a German police officer, describes the deteriorating security situation in Germany due to migrants who have no respect for law and order. In an interview with Deutschlandfunk radio, she said:

"For weeks, months and years I have noticed that Muslims, mostly young men, do not have even a minimum level of respect for the police. When we are out patrolling the streets, we are verbally abused by young Muslims. There is the body language, and insults like 'sh** cop' when passing by. If we make a traffic stop, the aggression increases ever further, this is overwhelmingly the case with migrants.

"I wish these problems were recognized and clearly addressed. If necessary, laws need to be strengthened. It is also very important that the judiciary, that the judges issue effective rulings. It cannot be that offenders continue to fill the police files, hurt us physically, insult us, whatever, and there are no consequences. Many cases are closed or offenders are released on probation or whatever. Yes, what is happening in the courts today is a joke.

"The growing disrespect, the increasing violence against police... We are losing control of the streets."

A video showing a Muslim threatening a German man openly on the street was posted on YouTube. The Muslim can be heard saying:

"I am telling you honestly, Islam will come to Germany, whether you like it or not. Your daughter will wear a headscarf (hijab). Your son will wear a beard. Okay. And your daughter will marry a bearded man.

"We are reproducing faster and faster. You Germans are not getting any children. In the best case you get two children. We make seven to eight children. Okay mate? And then we take four wives each, then we have 22 children. Maybe you Germans have one child and a dog. Huh? And that's it.

"Mate. This is not our fault, it is your fault. If you exploited our countries, colonized our countries, so that you can drive a Mercedes and use your digital camera, huh?

"So Allah (blessed be his name), the Almighty God, will make it so that we will conquer you. Not with war, here in Germany, but with birth rates, first and foremost. Secondly, we will marry your daughters. And your daughter will wear a Muslim headscarf. That is how it is. Now you can get really mad. I can see the hate in your eyes."

Another video shows hundreds of Muslims, some carrying the black flag of jihad, marching through the streets of downtown Hannover.

Amid a growing sense of insecurity, Germans are increasingly taking measures to protect themselves. Sales of pepper spray have skyrocketed by 600% during the past two months and stores across Germany are all sold out, according to the German newsmagazine Focus. Manufacturers say additional supplies will not be available for another six or seven weeks. "Manufacturers and distributors say the huge influx of foreigners in recent weeks has apparently frightened many people," according to Focus.

Wolfgang Wehrend, chairman of the Military Reserve Association (Reservistenverbandes) in North Rhine-Westphalia, called on the government to reinstate compulsory military service for all men and women in Germany aged 18 and over. "It is about the security of our country," he told the Rheinische Post. Germany formally ended conscription in July 2011. Wehrend said conscription could also be a way to promote integration:

"When young people work together as a matter of course in the army, the Federal Agency for Technical Relief (Technischen Hilfswerk), the fire brigades, the relief and care services, people from different ethnic groups and religions may grow closer. At least there is a chance."

Meanwhile, the guardians of German multiculturalism unleashed a firestorm of criticism against Jürgen Mannke, director of the Teacher's Association of Saxony-Anhalt (Philologenverbandes Sachsen-Anhalt, PhVSA), after he advised underage female students to guard against "superficial sexual adventures" with Muslim asylum seekers. In the group's quarterly membership magazine, Mannke wrote:

"An immigrant invasion is inundating Germany. Many citizens are ambivalent about this. There is no doubt that it is our human duty to help people who are facing existential distress due to war and political persecution. But it is extremely difficult to distinguish these people from those who come to our country for purely economic or even criminal motives.

"If one examines the current images of the waves of refugees, one cannot overlook that many young, strong, mostly Muslim men have chosen to apply for asylum in Germany, because they find ideal conditions here, or so they think.

"Many of the men come here without their families or wives, and certainly not always with the most honest of intentions. From our ethical and moral perspective, women are not treated equally in Muslim countries and often are not treated with dignity. It is only natural that these young, often uneducated men also have a need for sex.

"Against the backdrop of their ideas about the role of women in their Muslim cultures, the question remains: how can they live out their sexuality or seek relationships in Germany without conflicting with the norms of our society?

"Already, we hear from conversations with acquaintances in many places about sexual harassment in their daily lives, especially on public transportation and in supermarkets. As responsible educators, we ask ourselves: How can we enlighten our young girls aged 12 and up so that they do not engage in superficial sexual adventures with often certainly attractive Muslim men?"

Mannke later apologized for his politically incorrect choice of words: "I hereby declare that I never intended to defame people of other religions, nations and cultures or to foment fear to serve nationalistic stereotypes or to generalize."

In Bad Tölz, a town in Bavaria, local politicians and the media branded the managers of the "Brucklyn" discotheque as "Nazis" and "racists" after they banned male migrants from the premises. German women had complained that the men were harassing them, even following them into the female restroom.

The club's manager, Thomas Greil, said he had no other option: he was concerned about the wellbeing of the female patrons. He said that after a group of 30 or 40 migrants arrived, native Germans left the club in droves.

"We are not excluding anyone, we are just trying to run a business. If we ignore the complaints of our female guests, we have to expect that many of our regular customers will stay away for the short or long term, and we will incur a loss of sales. We have monthly costs of a five figure sum. Financially, we do not know how long can we cope with this. We are overwhelmed."

The culture-oriented radio station of the German national Deutschlandradio service, Deutschlandradio Kultur, interviewed Frank Künster, who has been a nightclub bouncer for more than 20 years. He said:

"It sounds racist, but groups of men from immigrant backgrounds just behave differently, especially towards women, and that is harmful to the club. You have to give the women space to feel comfortable. This is not the case when there are only men, many of whom want to grope female bums."

In Berlin, lawmakers are considering emergency legislation that would allow local authorities to seize private residences to accommodate asylum seekers.

The proposal — which would effectively suspend Germany's constitutional guarantee of private property — would authorize police forcibly to enter private homes and apartments without a warrant to determine their suitability as housing for refugees and migrants.

The legislation, proposed by Berlin Mayor Michael Müller of the center-left Social Democrats (SPD), would amend Section 36 of Berlin's Public Order and Safety Law (Allgemeine Gesetz zum Schutz der öffentlichen Sicherheit und Ordnung, ASOG), which currently allows police to enter private residences only in extreme instances, to "avert acute threats," that is, to fight serious crime. Müller now wants to expand the scope for warrantless inspections to include "preventing homelessness."

The proposal was kept secret from the public until November 9, when the leader of the Free Democrats (FDP) in Berlin, Sebastian Czaja, warned the measure would violate the German Constitution. He said:

"The plans of the Berlin Senate to requisition residential and commercial property without the consent of the owner to accommodate refugees is an open breach of the constitution. The attempt by the Senate to undermine the constitutional right to property and the inviolability of the home must be resolutely opposed."

Since then, both the mayor's office and the Senate have remained silent about their plans.

Gunnar Schupelius, a columnist with the Berlin newspaper BZ, has investigated further. In a November 10 article, he wrote:

"A strange report made the rounds at the weekend: The Senate would authorize the police to enter private homes to house refugees, even against the will of the owner. I thought it was only satire, then a misunderstanding, because the Basic Law, Article 13, states: 'The home is inviolable.'

"So I went on a search for the source of this strange report and found it. There is a 'proposal' which the Senate Chancellery (Senatskanzlei) has apparently circulated among the senators. The Senate Chancellery is another name for the mayor's office. The permanent secretary is Björn Böhning (SPD)...

"The proposal is clear: The police can enter private property without a court order in order to search for housing for refugees when these are threatened with homelessness. You can do that 'without the consent of the owner.' And not only should the police be allowed to do this, but also the regulatory agencies.

"This delicate 'proposal' attracted little public attention. Only Berlin FDP General Secretary Sebastian Czaja spoke up and warned of an 'open preparation for breach of the constitution.' Internally, there should have been protests. The 'proposal' suddenly disappeared from the table. Is it completely gone or will it return?

"If the need is really this great, then Governing Mayor Michael Müller should come clean rather than prepare for secret and surreptitious intrusions into private homes.

"But Michael Müller is conspicuous by his absence. He has not addressed the crisis in the Senate. He also refuses to meet with citizens. Nor is he personally visiting the refugee shelters. He has gone into seclusion, from where he has declared that accommodating the refugees is his top priority."

Meanwhile, the German government wants to bring in even more migrants. Speaking at a meeting of the Social Democrats (SPD) in Berlin on November 12, German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel argued that Germany should bring in a "large contingent" of migrants in order to prevent human traffickers from profiting from the migrant crisis.

Gabriel apparently wants to airlift tens of thousands of migrants to Germany. "No one should die on the way to Europe, which must be our goal," he said. If other European countries refuse to participate in the plan, he said, "Germany should take the lead."

According to Gabriel, "What matters is not the number of people who come to Germany, but the speed at which they come." He added that the federal government should double the budget for building new housing for migrants.

Nuremberg Mayor Ulrich Maly countered: "The same empathy we show for refugees we must show to our own people, the host society."

German Chancellor Angela Merkel continues to double down on her open-door asylum policy. In a November 13 interview with the public broadcaster ZDF, Merkel responded to critics: "The Chancellor has the situation under control. I have my vision. I will fight for it."

If the police don't catch the migrant criminals who are raping women I don't see a bright future for Germany. What German citizen will want to stay in Germany and pay taxes for "refugees" and/or "migrants" who want to rape them? This is insane!

If you don't stop taking all these dregs of other countries you will be overrun and will end up becoming a Muslim country and you will lose your German identity. Shut your borders be for it's too late. It's not your fault that they are in the situation they are in. They don't want to be a part of Germany, they want to take it over for themselves and have Sharia law. They weren't happy in their own country and they won't be happy in yours. There never will be peace because they won't assimilate to your way of life.

I am an Australian living in Germany.

I hoped to work here as a doctor. And to buy a house, help people and enjoy my life.

I saved up and have been learning German for the past 18 months.

Now the Local councils are asking people if they have free space for the refugees in their houses, or if they have empty buildings. Soon I will be sleeping in the snow as even the roof space where I sleep will be given up to refugees in February. My friends said that in Germany "you are put under pressure to be persuaded".

An educated Westerner is screened before they can enter this country, but they receive no help. But these refugees demand everything, even from Westerners who have nothing themselves (the refugees have more).

So I am sad about it, but glad that I have not already passed the German exams and invested in a house and future here. Because I have to leave.

I am lucky that I have a 3rd World passport (American / Canadian / Australian). That is what the EU calls us, what a joke. Who will be the 3rd world now?

I am sad for my German friends, the German people. But they just sit there shocked and do nothing. Why cant Merkel be overruled?

It is clear now that our very way of life is under threat.

No longer will I tolerate the PC brigade or any other erstwhile positions on this being solely a humanitarian crisis.

Our governments across the Continent have forgotten their duty is first and foremost to those who put them in their positions.

As we slowly march towards establishing an entirely disconnected supra national government in the form of the EU, we can no longer expect to receive governance that will shape our nations that allows us to retain any form of national identity. We are currently as close as we are going to get to having nationalism outlawed.

So, for anyone reading this anywhere in the Continent, if you are aware of any groups being set up, militant or otherwise, that will allow the people of Europe to stand against this rising tide then I'd love to hear from you.

Count me in, this has to end.

It appears that the Germans will do nothing (apart from the ones in the East -- Dresden -- Pegida) until they will have to pay for this experiment. They have a very high standard of living on the expense of the other nations. They produce and export flooding Europe with German supermarkets full of German goods. But one day, someone will have to pay for it and they will not like to see their standard of living getting low. It's a shame because by letting all these migrants into Germany they will destroy Europe -- for the third time...

"The proposal — which would effectively suspend Germany's constitutional guarantee of private property — would authorize police forcibly to enter private homes and apartments without a warrant to determine their suitability as housing for refugees and migrants."

So what the German leadership has done is bring in far more refugees than they can house. And now they're proposing to take private property by force in order to make up for this bad situation of their own making. Just this one choice, shoving aside all the other dangers inherent in the situation, is asking for social upheaval -- citizens against refugees. I can't think of a better way to breed resentment in the native population of Germany than to have their property rights overturned for the sake of migrants. And as many migrants turn out to be hostile to German/Western culture and freedoms, resentment and anger can only grow as time goes on.

The refugee crisis policies of the German government are already creating the perfect storm for the country. If they start suspending constitutional guarantees on top of it, the people will come to hate both the government and the migrants and I expect they'll fight back.

Can the people at the top really be this short-sighted? Or do they want to create civil strife and bloody crisis that will allow them to justify ditching property and perhaps other rights, and creating some type of dictatorship in Germany or the whole EU?

I'm not a conspiracy theory nut. It's just that stupidity on the level displayed by Merkel and her team is so over-the-top, so unbelievable in itself, that it makes conspiracy-thinking seem to make sense. You begin to wonder if there's method in Merkel's madness.

But I suspect it's just the German guilt complex because of the Nazi past. She wants to do *anything* to prove Germany isn't bigoted against "the other". But if that's her aim, her methods can only backfire.

As the population of German citizens decline and the Islamic population grows one thing is certain. In the next 30 to 50 years Germany will become a third world nation, dominated by Islamic fundamentalism, hatred and murderous slaughter of its population especially Christians who will be in a minority. I expect in the next few years Germans will start to leave Germany en-mass for the security of North America.

This is both obscene and ridiculous, people being asked to leave their own homeland because they object to being replaced by foreigners. The socialists want to abolish private property and borders and introduce absolute equality for everyone. It just does not work in the real world, socialist theories cause more harm than good. People need a sense of identity and a place to belong, a nation and a homeland, and they want to own things.

The refugees entering Europe are refugees of gross overpopulation in the Islamic world. Human overpopulation is a trickster with many guises. One guise is as regional conflicts and failed states. People fleeing overpopulation are always fleeing as refugees of one of its symptoms. So under the rules of the UN High Commission on Human Rights, chaired by Saudi Arabia, the entire Muslim world is legally entitled to migrate to Europe because they are all 'refugees' of overpopulation. Once in Europe they are all entitled to free housing, food and a cash allowance. This is for life, because it is Islamic doctrine that Muslims are entitled as God's chosen people to live off the labor of non-Muslims who must show 'submission'. The most incredible thing about all of this is it is democratically elected European politicians who are destroying Europe. Just like in 1914 and 1939. Watching Left-Wing German politicians bragging about a Germany where the ethnic Germans are a minority is as chilling as old Nazi propaganda films. Same attitude of unassailable faith in their cause. The outcome will be just as bloody unless Europeans are the first people in history to be exterminated without putting up a fight.

Like many of the ladies and gentlemen who have written comments, expressing bewilderment about why European countries are allowing this Islamic takeover of their societies, I would just like to ask another question.

Many women in public life, who are either politicians, activists or movie stars in Europe, have kept stating that more migrants should be allowed in to European countries. And yet if this migration continues in the coming years, this type of female will gradually fade out from public life as women's rights will be well out of the window in an increasingly Islamic world. All the gains that have been made in the last 100 years will be lost forever and women will eventually be relegated to being 2nd class citizens.

Why can't Angela Merkel and others see this!

Germans who can afford it will probably take the government up on that one. Any group of politicians that would even consider just walking in
and ordering its citizens to vacate their property in order to give it to illegal migrants needs to be kicked out of office. This is what you can expect with no borders. This is just what President Obama wants to have dropped on the taxpayers in the US that will bankrupt any small town or city, I have said this before. Montana is another state that has said it will not accept Syrian refugees and that state only has about a million population. The ACLU has jumped into the fight over the states not accepting Syrian refugees, so there will be more court fights down the road.

That's why we the Polish people say enough! Enough of the political correctness when addressing those issues, let's say as it is, we're being invaded day in -- day out, by external forces, we shouldn't care, as we don't have a welfare system in Poland, but we're proud and won't stand this any more, that's why we're asking out brothers in Czech, Slovakia, Hungary, Baltic states, to stand together as a testament of real unity, we're being accused of not "giving, not being solidarity" but, what are the Germans thinking about us ? They wanted cheap labor and did not care how will this affect other countries, did the Greece government consider sealing the borders, and not consenting to be the transfer point, since nobody wants to stay in a bankrupt country. We need to protect ourselves from dangers from abroad, and it's not being selfish, it's being pragmatic, because if the Western Europe will stay the course, UE will fall dawn faster then we think, and their economy will not handle such a influx of the "enriching" element. So people in Europe: Stay safe, stay pragmatic, and think about the consequence!

I filled in the forms for leaving in late 1981. Even then it had been clear to me that Germany would one day be overrun, because they did not grow a spine and refused to put their own people first. I say 'they' because I could not feel part of the people I was born into.

I look at the town of my childhood, Berlin, with horror. I am glad the parents and grandparents are no longer alive. They did not work 60 hours per week to get this. We Germans were not entitled to get the land of our ancestors back; but the invaders get everything for free. I feel traumatised and I am ashamed to say that I was born a German.

I'm sure that your dejection concerning the "sell-out" of your former Fatherland should not be yours, but should be Angela Merkel's and those politicians who accepted her decision to grandstand for the "sinking ship" called European Union.

The German government's disappointing maneuver could have been done through Merkel's blind allegiance to the "success" of the EU, without being sober enough to anticipate that apart from the most opposite a people Arabs are to Germans, the German "open door" comes during a time that we, in the USA, are getting similar difficulty via the stateside version of Merkel in the person of Obama.

We have a year+ to muddle through an Obama regime, but it really won't be over until the moving van, by the White House, is packed full and ready to roll. Let us all hope that a government dedicated to healing what the Leninists have done to our country will return the American way of life, with our efforts too, to its rightful place and never allow another Leninist near our White House again.

By the way, for dining pleasure in my opinion, there is still nothing more fulfilling than a good Sauerbraten w/potato dumplings, smothered in "the right gravy," and a not too dry red Rhine wine. It's "feel good food!"

From what reports we get "over here," German interests are being traded for the interests of foreigners. And, these foreigners are not thankful or respectful of the nation that has exceeded what hospitality. It's far better hospitality to a group in which few would fit into Germany's economy scene to support their presence there. The German people must be in shock at the despicably arrogant attitudes of people, most of which are educationally "at the bottom" of the learning curve in comparison to the Germans who're trying to tolerate the impositions their Socialist government has thrust upon them.

Most modern countries would do well to have these German people to migrate to them. They are productive people, not leeches from the Mid-East. I'm telling "like it is."

How cavalier it is of the Merkel regime to invite German people who find these Arabs objectionable, that they're free to leave Germany. That is not the answer, the answer is that the German government, yes, that regime of Merkel's, should demonstrate to the migrants that their excesses will not be tolerated. I know that'll be a tough job for German authorities, the migrants in question only understand government by force. They are probably lost without strong-arm governance. Germany may have to reach back in time to be forceful, not as the Nazis were, but as a nation of laws expects of those living within its borders.

If only it could be so, that all ethnic/native Germans could, and would, leave Germany and be welcomed in another civilized society/nation. The stupid German (and EU) politicians would be left to deal with their new reality, a country full of invading/squatter people that can no longer rely on others to take care of them. No real economy, no tax basis, no one left to foot the bill. Boy, would that make their arrogant/power-hungry heads snap around.

Over the past 20 years, most Western leaders have shown a determination to facilitate the progress of Islam within their nation states. The indigenous citizens are neither asked, nor even considered, as Islam is incrementally imposed upon them, all while they are forced to bear the financial, cultural and social costs. Concessions made to appease Muslim migrants change the character and culture of the host nation and the host citizens are entirely justified in protesting these changes. To counter these protests, the West's political class use "political correctness", media manipulation and legislation against free speech.

In a true democracy, the national government should stand for the best interests of its citizens as determined by its citizens. So why do Western governments ignore the concerns of their citizens on the issue of uncontrolled Muslim migration? The question must be asked: why even have a "nation state" if anyone can walk across the open border can become a citizen?

It must be obvious to all, especially the Western political classes, that the large-scale and uncontrolled migration and re-settlement of Islamic migrants, some of who are functionally illiterate in their country of origin, will eventually cause civil disruption and violence. The violence and intolerance inherent in Islam, particularly towards women, is so contrary to all that the "free West" stands for. The political classes of the West could not be so stupid as to not see what will become of their nations and culture as the uncontrolled migration of Muslims continues. To so strongly support the Islamisation of the West, logic dictates that there must be some, as yet undisclosed purpose to all this, some undisclosed strategy or end game. Given that no Western political leader communicates an end game acceptable to their citizens, it begs the questions in my mind: what force above the individual national governments of the Western states is coordinating these events and why?

I am appalled by the image of rioting 'asylum seekers' published to the right of Angela Merkel's picture. I was frightened by the aggression in the faces, in the flag poles used as weapons against German police officers, in the covered faces, but what really sent me spinning was this quote: "German Chancellor Angela Merkel: "The Chancellor has the situation under control. I Have My Vision. I Will Fight For It."

Under such a leadership, what can a German citizen do? Leave their beautiful country? Fight back? Revolt? Or do nothing and simply submit?What is wrong with Merkel's mind? Does anyone know what her 'vision' is? I'd really want to know.

Where does 'humanitarian' end and self protection begin? Germany and Sweden and others seem to have assumed that the cultures of the migrants is close enough to Europe's so there would be no problem, if they thought at all. It is probably too late to close Pandora's box. Wonder if the immigrants understand that idea, i.e. have a similar thought in their culture?

It is curious the way the liberal left invokes the words "Nazi" and "fascist" whenever anyone disagrees with it. What's even more astonishing is that the behaviour of today's Muslim immigrants is diametrically opposed to that of Jews in 1930s Germany. Today, Muslims openly demand that Germany (and Europe) become Muslim, openly threaten and attack their host countries and openly state that the intention is to overwhelm Europe by demographic change. This is being stated quite bluntly, yet anyone who whispers disagreement is howled down as a racist and a Nazi! The irony would be amusing if it weren't so terrifying.

The West is deliberately fomenting its own violent destruction but if you object to this you're a hate-filled Islamophobe.

A very depressing article but the truth can be depressing at times.

I can't help thinking that "Western" Europe is finished. And it has been finished off by its own leaders, like Angela Merkel.

How can a civilization survive this onslaught when its own leaders are actively involved in promoting the onslaught.

Sad to see a once great civilization collapsing from within.

It's practically unbelievable, but it's happening! Germany has really been the "Canary in the mine" of Europe. A year ago, who would have imagined that what seemed as a stabilizing influence to EU's politics would turn 180 degrees? Angela Merkel, who grew up in the German Peoples Democratic Republic, (nation state part of East behind Iron Curtain) decided that Germany should welcome Islam, which will repay Germany with an ordeal never imagined.

What possible good could come from gambling Europe's future through such a flawed, but "politically correct" insane maneuver? I think the EU has digested too much of its own revolutionary ideas!

Apparently, Merkel's innermost leftist orientation was either well concealed or the news medias of both Europe and North America didn't truthfully report about her. It has to be Merkel's true political orientation which was dormant, but came to life full force, when she had to decide the very difficult task of immigrating a worst possible "fit" into German social norms. Germans viewing the French experiment with Islam could not have seen any success in it.

The EU concept of sovereign European states becoming what is tantamount to one Europe under one flag, capitol in Brussels, Belgium, was meant to manage the various countries of the EU, as states are in relation to Washington, DC. That our United States started out with a bloody revolution, followed by a second invasion by the former mother country in 1812, followed by the bloodiest war in American history, the Civil War, was not the same thing as a group of Euro. politicians, probably admiring the concept of the United States, which brought the Euro political leaders to agree that they'd forego national sovereignty and look to the EU organization for future direction.

I have often thought how well they'd stick together if one was attacked and expected the others to mobilize to rescue the one attacked.

Well, that didn't happen, instead what happened was that the key, central state (Germany)or rather its political leaders, decided that Germany should endure a relatively bloodless invasion.

Then, Angela Merkel, from her position of power, brought the invasion and such an invasion it was. The German people had no "say" in the matter. Merkel did all the saying.

And so, now we see that Germans objecting to the mass intrusion are "free to leave," according to the Chancellor.

It has to be so difficult to decide upon leaving one's country, one's birthplace, family roots going back centuries. Now, German citizens who object to what their Chancellor has implemented, have been advised of their freedom to leave their "Fatherland." If it was suggested in order to shut off further objections, it took very cold blood to issue such a suggestion.

The mind boggling travesty of Angela Merkel et al's forced cultural dilution of Europe is the fact that there are so many billions of people from cultures and religions that would be reasonably compatible with Europe's post Judeo-Christian and secular values. Buddhists, Hindus, Taoists, Sikhs, the Baha'i faith...you name it. Heck, how about a few Zoroastrians or Jains. But no, the EU elites feel compelled to flood their societies with the one religion that has demonstrated incompatibility with secularism and just about every other religion and culture on the planet. A simple look at any social attitude survey demonstrates that such incompatibility is highly represented in adherents of Islam. The belief in Sharia, subordination of women, the primacy of religion over the state, anti-Semitism, and many attitudes that are the antithesis of modern secular society are well represented in Muslims. They may not be universal but still prevalent enough in very high percentages to be problematic. Why impose this travail on your own people when there are so many other human beings to choose from across the planet? It seems Merkel must actually loathe her people and culture.

It's unbelievable how quickly Germany is sliding into the abyss. How can anyone justify this invasion at the cost of the indigenous population? It certainly is an invasion and the consequences are being played out in front of their eyes. Why does their government persist with allowing (encouraging) national suicide? It's time the local people demanded a halt to mass migration whether by refugees or others. The government needs to reconsider or be replaced.

I don't wish to interrupt your day with sad tales seeking your thoughts.

The worry I have is it seems the tipping point has been reached when government officials are contemplating constitutional changes, in the interest of non-citizens. What is the name given to that form of government?

If the trend continues would it be safe to predict episodes of armed conflict before the end of 2016, or -- I would not be surprised -- sooner. The "new" German will suffer moral relativism -- but just so long.

The damage of a tsunami of any form -- human or natural -- is incomprehensible.

Dear Martin,

I agree wholeheartedly with you. But there is no reason for a "New German" to be ashamed of defending himself or herself from this obvious attempt to invade and occupy your country and overthrow its peaceful existence in favour of another failed, violent 'islamistan', this time in the heart of Europe.

And as an Israeli Jew born in Canada, I want you to know that I for one will support you. PEGIDA is right, and some BS with the former leader behaving childishly when drunk is just that: Bull Sh*t.

This new 'Moslem Conquest' (and a group comprising over 73% young males between 18 and 30 is just that, an army of invasion), is being used by the White non-Moslem Left in its attempt to destroy itself based on its nihilistic attitude to the wonderful lives most of us are privileged to enjoy in the West.

And the Big Lie of so-called 'Global Warming' is another tool in their repertoire. It is being used to weaken the White (mainly) Christian West from a different angle.

But their goal is the same.

May G-D Strengthen you and all those who support true Freedom for people, whether Jewish, Christian, or other.

During the NAZI era, Germany lost many scientists because of a questionable ideology. Now we let millions of mostly uneducated people into our country. Decades of ideological indoctrination by the 68 generation destroys our country. The majority of the so-called refugees are Muslims. Germany's chancellor may have a plan which we do not understand, but it seems to be more likely, that she is dangerously naive.

Between combat tours in Southwest Asia, I was stationed in Germany. My family and I came to love the people of Germany, Austria and Northern Italy. We have returned almost yearly to vacation there. If it turns into Eurabia, we surely will not!

Two World Wars have apparently emasculated Germany's and Europe's populace to the point that they offer no degree of self-defense to this existential threat of Islam. More frighteningly, they seem to now be slitting their own throats by forcing their citizens out of house and home to accommodate the Saracens. Very sad indeed.

This article carries with it the distinct message that chaos and anarchy in the country are not far off if the German government persists in its current stance of seemingly preferential accommodation for immigrant Muslims. How strange to read that strenuous efforts are NOT being taken to restore law and order on the streets of German cities; nor indeed to protect their female citizens from these marauders. Germany shares in common the same approach to uncivilized Muslim refugees as does Sweden. So, the puzzling question remains -- why? Is there something unique to this particular immigrant group? Or, are there details to this 'generosity' in European countries that are hidden from the public for fear of outright rejection of these new arrivals? Sensible people would quickly eject uncivilized, brutish and criminal individuals from their homes, so why is Germany permitting this same class into their 'home' to wreak mayhem and havoc?

I wonder about the spirit of the Germans. They don't seem to me as all that willing to defend themselves, their country, and their culture. Angela Merkel clearly is on a mission to destroy the country, but no one is seriously challenging her. They demonstrate for a little and then they stop. While she continues to let Muslims poor into the country by the tens of thousands every day. Its ridiculous! These people will not build Germany. They are poor and illiterate. They are coming there to suck the social support system dry...free housing, free clothes, free food, free everything. And once there are enough of them there they will change German culture dramatically. Germany will become even worse than Sweden or France. Sad!

10 million Germans died thanks to Adolph Hitler and then half of Germany was taken over by the Communists and still it survived. This time it will probably not survive. Major German companies will find they cannot operate in a lawless Muslim state and will pull out, as companies in America pull out to save on taxes. This time there will be no more auf wiedersehen - this time it will be ruhe in frieden. If Trump doesn't win and if Trudeau is not dumped through a no-confidence vote, America and Canada will follow Germany.

It is a heartrending dilemma hitting Bavaria and Germany as the Middle East, Muslim and/or Syrian refugees have continuously flocked into the European Union region without proper border checkpoints in place. Looks like the German government has started to implement the immigration procedures later than it could have done prior to the anticipated "invasion". It looks as well like its open-door immigration policy as a weak deterrent to the unruly behavior in the influx of asylum seekers as I suppose. I express this critique of my reading and viewing some recent videos transpiring in Germany as I am the social studies buff.

Germany's politicians seem hell-bent on destroying their country, and if serious changes aren't made very soon, they will succeed. It might already be too late. The influx of hundreds of thousands of migrants, whoever they might be, is unsustainable, and the response to concerns voiced by Germans that if they don't like it, they can leave is shocking! The Germans can leave? The migrants can stay?

Whatever has happened to German leadership that they see this as the way to run their country? They are destroying Germany, both demographically and financially, and yet they continue. Given the German demographic, it's more than likely that Muslims will be the majority in some decades. Is that what Germany wants, to be a Muslim country, under sharia law? That what they're soon going to have and it may already be too late to reverse the trend. How very tragic!

Europe (particularly France), after multiple wars involving Germany, sought to ensure that the Germans would not again be a threat to their neighbors. It would seem that has been successful to such a degree that the Germans sit by and watch their country and culture go down the proverbial drain. The land of my Grandparents is on a fast track to fulfilling the prediction of the cited Muslim male in the video. And the people do nothing about it. The German people apparently have lost the will to do anything more than survive, and in coming decades that will be a problem unless they pay Jizyah.

The only way Germany can make sense of a two-state entity, one modern and western, and one a anti-democratic Sharia Islamic State, is to divide itself into enclaves that will be the inevitable end that we are witnessing.

This has had to have been planned, the violence in the ME where resources caused by prolonged stagnation and over exploitation of resources in a region that was once fertile and provided the necessities of life even in Mohammed's time relied on coming out of the desert to loot to advance itself.
What Islam could not achieve with the sword they are now accomplishing through migration and it is just as violent and criminal as Islam's practice of advancing the religion by force. Now Muslims simply lash out at cultural differences, as we read in the article provided by Gatestone that Sweden now needs rape clinics for men and boys. (Interesting side note I thought of over night on that article, a Green Beret was indicted under Court Martial for forcibly stopping an Afghan male from raping a boy. The Obama club was about to try him when a public response made the lack of moral credibility found in the Obama leadership was once again made public.)

How complicit is the German Government in the ruin of the nation?

Islam's history is one of a religious order that makes its most notable advances by taking things and without reform the Germans have put themselves in the hands of a leadership that is once again taking things, German identity, wealth, freedoms and they elected a leadership that is betraying them.

The Central Council of Jews in Germany "has said Germany should limit the number of migrants coming in because of the problems of integrating the mostly Muslim arrivals...'they come from cultures where hatred of Jews and intolerance are an integral part. Don't just think about the Jews, think about the equality between man and women, or dealing with homosexuals'..."

Well, sincere Christians and sincere secularists in Germany and other EU states have indeed had their concerns about mass inward settlement from outside for decades past, but however belated and self-interested this concern of Joseph Schuster's group is welcome. Perhaps Mad Mutti will listen this time.

Angela Merkel has gone past the stage of insanity and plunged to a state of delusionary confusion. German politicians don't appear to give a damn for their own country anymore, they've completely lost the plot. They don't seem to possess the intelligence to see what is happening right under their noses. It's as if these silly deluded individuals have been hypnotised into believing that their welcoming of these many thousands of muslims is going to make their country better. How wrong they are! People across Germany have reported on the behaviour and complete disregard for the law by immigrants and yet they are not being taken seriously by the authorities.

Angela Merkel and all those that share her vision for Germany must be forced from office for the good of the country and it needs to be soon before she and her crazy band of cohorts cause more serious and lasting damage. The law of the land must be upheld and it must apply to immigrants and not used to silence those who are opposed to this mass suicide path being taken by their government. Surely there's a way to remove these people from power? If there is, I suggest the German people do what they need to do to get them all out of office, never to be allowed anywhere near politics again!

There is no god called Allah. There is one true G-D, and that is HE who revealed HIS SON, CHRIST JESUS, of one being with the Father.

This is where the problem lies, and this is why Germany is having its current problem. They deny HIM and align themselves with people who also deny HIM, that is, Islamics.

Although it is true that God sends rain on both the just and unjust, it is equally true that you do not align yourself with unbelievers. Germany allied itself with the Ottoman Empire in World War One, and is repeating that mistake again now.

What the article should also highlight is how many of these refugees are young men. They are not feeble and thin. They are well fed. Not a typical refugee. It would be better to pay for them to stay in the countries from which they came than to allow them to over-run Europe.

Where is the UN and the The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to take care of refugees where they are safely in camps or to integrate them into their Islamic countries? They created this ugly long-term terrorist world war. Where are the OIC, the UN and NATO to defeat ISIS and to defeat the religious ideology behind it? The reason the OIC is not involved in any helpful way is because they want to send Muslim hordes into the West to take over by stealth and violence. The UN is busy with its anti-Semitic attacks on Israel – too busy to care about real problems. That is how the third-worlders and communists defend their corruption, lack of freedoms, oppression of civilians and chaos – by pointing fingers and using propaganda against Israel.
